How to set up production groups

Production groups are used when work in progress needs to be divided into different production groups. Consider a distinction on the balance sheet in 'Work in Progress Machining' and 'Work in Progress Construction'. The settings of the production group(s) can be found in the process table Production Groups.

In the table, you set up the general ledger accounts that are linked to a production group. In a financial basic setup, the mutations on the work in progress are manually booked through the journal per period. Production groups are not tracked through financial mutations. It must be checked whether the groups of the production process are assigned to 'General Ledger Account MKG (9999)'.

Financial mutations

If one or more of the administration settings 'Material', 'Outsourcing', 'Hours', or 'Completion' is checked, financial mutations are created at the moment materials, hours, and/or outsourcing are booked on a production order. The registration of the (balance) value of the work in progress is at that moment linked to the accounts on the production groups.
